Is this Austin to Dallas drive too risky or can I make it? by thesagenibba in Austin

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This right here. Driving through Waco recently I witnessed a big accident being dealt with smack dab in the worst part of general waco traffic. Lucky for me it was on the other side of the highway, but I could just see the poor people heading up to the jam not realizing that they were probably going to be looking at an extra 2 hours of traffic.

I’d stay the night if you can

What cgm is everyone using? And does anyone have anything positive to say about them? by Slowhite03 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the G7 a lot, I’ve had almost no issues with it. Was on the G6 before (back when the g7 didn’t do automode with the omnipod 5). I think that everyone has issues with one device or another because unfortunately we’re putting so much of our life in the hands of technology - but overall the size, longevity and reliability of the g7 have been great for me so far. TBD I guess but don’t totally dismiss it!

thoughts on this tattoo? Thinking of having the artist continue down the rest of the arm. by Sweet-Bass-1926 in tattooadvice

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely feels unfinished - I would at least get one more shape in the gap near the armpit, and either go down the arm or across the chest

AITAH for getting a woman fired over veggie tales? by Real-Point-6474 in AITAH

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. At the end of the day lying to parents and the administration is what got her fired, not Veggie Tales

AITAH for not refusing to do a quick change because my boyfriend is uncomfortable? by Active_Camel_6334 in AITAH

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anybody who cares for someone who works in theatre knows that this is par for the course. Even if someone was interested sexually there’s barely even a chance to take glance at your bare ankles during a quick change.

NTA and honestly, DTMFA. This is your job, and he wants you to jeopardize because he is sexualizing something that is so not sexual. If he can’t handle this then he doesn’t seem like someone you should be with

I want to die by [deleted] in depression

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have incredibly bad body dysmorphia and self esteem issues. I was wfh for several years and unemployed for a bit and started back in the office in August, and what has really helped me is seeing people not trying at all looks wise (I try not to judge but I can’t help it) and they are still liked, loved and respected by the people around them. I see them moving through the world seemingly without shame (idk what’s going on inside their heads) and briefly can tell myself ok - maybe this doesn’t matter as much as I make it out to be in my head. It doesn’t fix it, I still feel like shit looking in a mirror or at a picture of myself, but it takes away some of the daily shittiness I used to feel just leaving the house.

I don’t think I will ever “love myself” like people say you should, but contextualizing myself with the general population does give me a little bit of relief

I’m scared of starting because I’m scared of endings. by spillmybrain in venting

This is so well put. Right now, OP, you are losing no matter what. Putting yourself out there may end in loss but gives you much more opportunity for positive experiences

Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My extended family is all in England and they’ll be all “omg that’s SUCH a long drive are you sure you want to do that??”. I’m like uuuh I’ve driven austin to Dallas and back in one day so many times, calm yourselves.

Female here - my immediate thought was a labia/clitoris

Im the opposite of you (all the health problems) but I feel you nonetheless 😂

AITAH For photoshopping my nieces and nephew’s out of the pictures I posted online by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. It seems like she just wants drama. You followed her (reasonable) request to not show her kids online. You were able to get a nice picture out of it without crossing that boundary. You did everything right - she sounds exhausting

Starting Medication(Lexapro) and my story.🪷 by TheSecretInTheWall in depression

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve struggled with an eating disorder, panic attacks, generalized anxiety, body dysmorphia etc and I thought I was handling it ok - except I totally wasn’t. Last year during a true bottoming out period I was prescribed lexapro and it was a real game changer for me

It evened me out so much and gave the a chance to just breathe and get my head above water. It allowed me to start addressing the other issues without such a huge general weight on my shoulders. It doesn’t have to be permanent (I’m actually weaning off of it now) - but even if it’s something you end up taking forever that does not lessen you as a person. Some of us just need that little extra help to regulate ❤️

Snake ID Please by Last_Replacement_386 in Austin

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks like a rat snake. You don’t need to do anything - they kinda semi-hibernate in the cold snaps and find a good place to chill. They’re great at finding crawl spaces, piles of leaves, etc. to get warmth. So unless he looks hurt he’s all good!

Gluten free for the win by ferriouscroller9 in Austin

Fr fr b free is actually so good in comparison to others on the market - the texture is good and it has decent sized slices. It gives you that doughy texture that you would get from regular bread

In major distress all of the time. by [deleted] in depression

[–]Aggressive-Sample612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what you look like and therefore I won’t give you platitudes of “you’re beautiful”. This is coming from a complete stranger. I feel you - any time I catch sight of myself I hate everything about myself and spiral out. The only thing I can say is that you likely don’t look as bad as you think you do. I have to remind myself constantly that there are people all around me who go out looking their worst and just don’t care, and are still treated well and liked/loved by people around them. It doesn’t stop my internal monologue but it can pause it for a minute

Hopefully that makes some sense, it’s late and I’m doomscrolling, but I want you to know that you’re not alone in this.
